Some rules for safe dress to wear around machinery when it is running are __________.

Wearing tight fitting clothing and heavy-duty shoes is important when working around running machinery for several reasons. Tight fitting clothing minimizes the risk of loose fabric getting caught in moving parts of the machinery, which could lead to serious injuries. Heavy-duty shoes provide protection for the feet, especially if heavy parts or tools are being handled. This type of footwear typically has sturdy soles that can prevent punctures and provide better support and stability on the shop floor.

On the contrary, options that recommend loose clothing or certain types of protective gear, such as safety glasses and gloves, while useful in many industrial contexts, do not address the specific safety concerns associated with operating machinery. Bright colored clothing can enhance visibility but does not provide physical protection or prevent clothing from being snagged by machinery. Thus, the emphasis on tight fitting clothing and durable footwear provides a more comprehensive approach to safety in a potentially hazardous work environment.
